Used Hasselblad V lenses

Here you'll find used lenses with the Hasselblad V mount: the Carl Zeiss glass for the classic 6x6 cameras of the 500 and 200 series, such as the 500C/M and the 503CW. Many of these lenses are decades old and still render beautifully, with the soft transition from sharp to out of focus that medium format is known for. And they work just as well on a V body with a digital CFV back.

You'll come across a few generations. C lenses are the oldest, CF followed in the early eighties, and after that came CFi and CFE, the latter with contacts that pass the aperture on to the 200 series. The more affordable CB line also belongs to this family. F and FE lenses have no shutter in the lens and are meant for the 2000 and 200 series. Popular choices are the Planar 80mm f/2.8 as a standard lens, the Distagon 50mm f/4 and 60mm f/3.5 for landscapes, the Sonnar 150mm f/4 for portraits and the Makro-Planar 120mm f/4 for detail and product work.

Buying a used Hasselblad V lens: what should you look out for?

With most V lenses the shutter sits in the lens itself. That is the most important thing to check on a used lens: the Zeiss glass lasts a lifetime, but a shutter that is a few decades old does need to run properly.

What to look out for when buying used

Fire the shutter at every speed and listen whether the long exposures don't stick. Look through the lens against the light for dust, haze or fungus, and turn the focus ring from close-up to infinity. Good to know: you only mount and remove a V lens when both the lens and the body are cocked. If it's stuck, don't force anything. We inspect every lens professionally and assess both its cosmetic and its technical condition, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Who is this for?

For anyone shooting 6x6 film with a Hasselblad from the 500 or 200 series, for anyone putting a CFV back on a V body, and for anyone using V glass on an X system camera or 907X with the XV adapter. Also take a look at the HC and HCD lenses for the H system, the XCD lenses for the X system or the rest of our medium format lenses. On everything you buy here you get a minimum 12-month warranty and 14-day returns, so you can try a lens out at home at your leisure.
